All of a sudden my XAMPP crashed. I cannot start the MySQl service. I am being shown this error message.

Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
12:36:03 PM  [mysql]    This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
12:36:03 PM  [mysql]    improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

Are there any ways to solve this problem? I also have checked my Skype its turned off.

It's worth taking a backup of your MySQL directory, if you have important data in there. Please check your logs as the error suggests - anything at the end there that might give clues? – halfer Mar 26 '16 at 09:07
